What Is Astrology?

[PELZER51]

As per India Astrologer (http://www.astrology-india.com/) and science related to astrology, each of the planets symbolizes confident energies, and also releases definite magnetic and electric fields, which manipulates the human lives in positive or negative way.

It’s said that the horoscope is haven’s map at the time and place of an individual’s birth which indicates the planets position and its relation to the one who is newly born. Vedic astrology deals with the science that studies the joint power of these planetary bodies on the human being.

As per Vedic astrology and its astrological language, the planets indicate:

1. The activities performed in previous lives.

2. The manner in which they are thus likely to be executed in the present life.

The astrology houses of chart tells us about the exact areas in life in which actions will be performed, and which will be strong or weak depending on the nature and situation of planets that influence them.

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time for war, and a time for peace." —Eccl. 3

Let’s look at astrology and "have no fear of the signs from the heavens" (Jeremiah 10:2). For me, my first look at astrology was as a skeptic. After reading a statement signed by 186 scientists in the September 1975 issue of The Humanist called "Objections to Astrology," I decided to research the subject. I wanted to acquire a sufficient background to verify astrology’s lack of validity and debunk the beliefs of astrologers. The scientists in The Humanist had said, "The time has come to challenge, directly and forcefully, the pretentious claims of astrological charlatans." Therefore, during a long Montana winter, I studied the topic and searched for evidence to dispute astrology’s assertions. Instead of unveiling charlatans, however, I emerged from my research with an unexpected appreciation of the simplicity and veracity of astrology. I realized why no one has ever proved astrology wrong.


For anyone to say that the planets around us do not exert forces, albeit subtle, is like saying that the seasons do not affect the clothes that we wear or the foods that we crave. It would be like claiming that our moon has nothing to do with ocean’s tides or that the orbital distribution of electrons within an atom does not influence its nucleus. Viewing astrology only through the blinders of a sciential point of view, instead of through the point of view of what is being observed, is paralogical.


To differentiate my assessment of astrology from a relative perspective, consider Bode’s law. If the earth were one measure from the Sun, then Mars would be 1.5, the asteroid belt 2.5, Jupiter 5, and Saturn 9.5, relationships less in relative distance than the particles within the volumes of many atoms.


The influence that celestial bodies have upon the disposition and character of our bio-electrodynamic form within the invisible energy field of physical life, from my observations, is real, not imaginary. Therefore, throughout the first five years after I realized the existence of this influence, I computed, before the touch-a-button personal computer age, as many birth charts as I could. For many, especially skeptics, I would often bet them, with no strings attached, my services as their slave for one year if they could do one thing that was not in their natal astrology chart or cosmograph. It was a sort of neti-neti approach to astrology. By identifying what they cannot do, show that astrology has yet to be proven false. I would tell them what wasn’t in their natal graph or chart that they could not do. For example, one woman, eager to win my services to liberate herself from cleaning house and preparing food for a year, had a particularly aspected Saturn positioned in her eighth house. Essentially, the eighth house signifies sex, and with Saturn being the planet of limitations, her sexual activities were restricted, which is to say, she could not satisfy a partner sexually, no matter how much technique she attempted to develop. Her task, then, was to sexually satisfy a partner. However, the moment I articulated this, she had a light-bulb moment that my challenge accurately described her, and she immediately conceded the bet. At the same time, I showed her the strengths in her natal graph or chart, and since then, she has become quite successful and joyous, aware of how to flow with the nature of her own unique vibrational current.


Astrology is one way in which our physiological vehicle interacts with the universe, and yet the general populace rejects this profound, observable, integrated rhythm. Just as there is a rhythmic vibration that influences an atom from the electrons moving around it, there are rhythmic vibrations from the planets that influence us. Instead, the scientially biased, those with active parietal lobes, believe what’s not true, for example, religious feelings and object-ive science, utterly disregarding astrology’s profound frequency, which partly determines our reality, just as many deny the subconscious.
